If you have not already done so, put the Replication Agent instance in the Replicating state now.
Use isql or another Open Client™ tool to log in to the Replication Agent administration port.
Use the following command to put the Replication Agent instance in Replicating state:
resume
Wait 5-10 seconds after you invoke the resume command before you execute the test transaction script.
See the Replication Agent Administration Guide for more information about the Replicating state.
